Common Concerns Answered
Is the subscription cost for updates a one-time fee?
The initial purchase includes one year of updates. An annual renewable subscription is required for continued access to the latest chart data and features after the first year.
Does the route guidance automatically steer the boat?
Dock-to-dock route guidance is a planning tool that suggests a route based on chart data. It does not automatically control the vessel and must not be relied upon as a substitute for safe navigation practices and active watchkeeping.
What happens to the chart data if I don't renew the subscription?
You will retain the chart data as it was at the time of your last update. However, you will lose access to new chart updates, Community Edits, and potentially other subscription-based features.
